THE MISSION of Dance Theatre Seattle (DTS) is to inform and shape both dancers and audiences by removing barriers which promote exclusivity in ballet and fostering an open-minded platform for dance. Creating a space of honest inclusivity, DTS believes that ballet can grow in tandem with all other forms of dance while preserving its technical foundation. If ballet does not learn how to be relevant in the world of modern day dance, it runs the risk of becoming obsolete. Our purpose is to allow ballet to reflect on its culturally biased history, learn from it, and guide itself through the twenty-first century.
